Don't think they were the only ones with a few tricks to not get screwed over. Sky leaned against her knee as she watched Twisted Fate shuffle the deck, only turning her focus away when some commotion between Al and Eve occurred.
"This is a pirate ship, kid. We drink on board. But I suppose for you, I'll make an exception. You try to wiggle your way out of the consequences of this game, we might have more to talk about." Her eyes glinted with a playful mirth as she spoke to Al, glancing then to Eve with a light smirk, amused by the attempt to shove Grave's bottle down Al's throat. Shrugging lightly, the sky pirate would adjust cross her legs and rest her arms lazily across her knees.
"Heh. You aren't nervous, are you? Got something to be ashamed about?" Sky poked fun at Graves.
T.F. would get the biggest smirk though, particularly when he bumped back into her. She'd check her cards, shifting her eyes about as she did so to ensure nobody was looking.
((Two cards? Is this 21 or Poker? And let's just free form it. I'm willing to bet Graves, T.F. and Sky probably have some tricks up their sleeves.))
"Any consequences of this game other than the removal of clothing was not agreed upon." Almyra looked at her cards. She knew how many of each card was in a deck of them. She knew that one was supposed to not let others see her cards, and made sure no one did. She looked around at the others. "Please explain the rules of this game, the values of the cards and combinations of them."

Graves emptied the bottle and tossed it to the side, cracking open yet another bottle and gulping it down. He smirks when Sky makes that remark to him.
" Nah, am afraid that if ah' take my shirt off you'll be all over me..." He shoots back, picking up his cards and taking a quick look.

Evelynn slips from the chains, her hand impossibly slipping through them. Winking at Almyra, she smirks a little, "Well... Maybe we should wait until you lose a few games before we do that... Hmm?"
Seeing Sky's glance, Evelynn slides over to Graves... She pouts and looks at him with wide eyes, "You wouldn't dare let me lose... Right?"

"Before the removal of clothes, yes, I will have to lose. For drinking whiskey, I will not under any conditions." Almyra continued waiting for someone to explain the rules of the game.

((I was going with good old Texas Hold em, and by free form I hope you mean we just use our fair imagination.))
The Cardmaster checked the hand he had. Not a bad start, furthermore it wasn't like he did not have a few sleights of hand he could perform. However, it seems someone was not familiar with all the rules, "Well Almyra its actually quite simple. Ya' start out with the two cards that ya' don't show anyone n' Ah will remove cards from the deck and lay them face up. The more cards ya' have that match the ones on the table, the more likely ya' are ta' win. Fer' example if Ah had a two of swords (spades) and there was a two of shackles (clubs) on the table, Ah would have a 'pair'. Three of the same cards turns inta' a 'three of a kind'. Two different pairs is what is called a 'two pair'. A 'pair' and a 'three of a kind' is called a 'full house'. Cards that consecutively follow one another are called a 'straight' n' if ya' happen ta' have all of the same suite then ya' have a 'flush.' Then there is the highest type, which is called a 'royal straight flush' or the royal family all of the same suite, with the ten and the ace." The Cardmaster explained. He didn't lie of course, but then again he was known as a conman, so to those overly suspicious they may not take his word as the truth.
He gave the deck one last graceful and elaborate shuffle before setting it on the table, "Now then enough small talk. Ah reckon' its bout' time we let Lady Luck decide the winner here." With that he discarded the top card, and placed the card under it face up on the table. He repeated this process three times till three cards were face up on the table. The first was the four of eyes (diamonds), the next was the 6 of hearts, and finally the queen of swords (Spades) was the third card. This most certainly wasn't a bad hand for Twisted Fate, though his face didn't show it. He looked at the other searching for their tells so he would have a better idea of what they might have.
((Cards on the table: Queen of swords, four of eyes, and six of hearts.
Taken a little creative liberty with what cards we're playing with hope ya'all don't mind.))

Graves gulped down his whiskey while Twisted Fate explained the rules of the game, always somebody who has no clue how to play around.. then it appeared he was finished. Graves eagerly waited for the cards to be flipped over and had a quick look over them. Not bad...still a good chance here.
" Hmm..." He gave no indication if his cards were favorable or not so, getting on that "poker face" for the game.

Sky did much the same as she'd look at the cards in her hands, then flicked her gaze back and forth. Particularly in Grave and TFs directions. She knew well enough how TF was. It wouldn't surprise her if Graves was the same. She wasn't so sure about Eve. Where could she hide extra cards anyway?
In fact.. She'd rather not think where Eve was hiding cards. The sky pirate shuddered a little at the thought, then pressed her hand against her chest to keep others from looking. She didn't put on a poker face. No, she just smirked a bit seeming satisfied with her hand.

Almyra kept her face completely blank as she looked at her own cards. The other people seemed suspicious of each other, she should be as well. In her mind, she began calculating the probability of each card to be played. The alcohol was definitely beginning to wear off. Still, it was slow going with the calculations.

Having recieved her cards she grins at TF, "Hope you don't mind the cold..." She keeps her cards facing down on the ground after looking at them. Her eyes wandering around attempting to catch a glance at the cards around around her...

"Sure Eve, like Ah'd ever lose at a card game. Just keep yer' eyes on yer' cards n' Ah might not deal ya' two or three bad hands." The ex-gypsy said as he watched her eyes scan across the cards, "Also the one with the worst hand or the one who folds removes their clothes, just so ya'all know."
After that being said he discarded the top card and set the next card face-up. It was a card that had six black blades on it, with edges sharp enough to kill. Twisted Fate looked up at everyone's faces. Who was Lady Luck favoring? Besides Twisted Fate that is, who set his cards down on the table, "Ah' reckon' Ah don't even have ta' look at mah cards anymore. Ya'all already lost." A taunt, who would be disheartened at that? Would someone fold and lose a piece of clothing early or would they all stick it out? He knew Sky had a decent hand, Graves had his poker face, but Twisted Fate was sure his tell would arrive eventually. Evelynn oddly did not even look at her cards, that spoke about her purpose here.

(("She keeps her cards facing down on the ground after looking at them" oops, sorry, I meant to say she had looked at what she had before just keeping them facedown unstead of holding onto them unlike everyone else.))

Graves looked at the cards on the table and in his hand and his eye twitched faintly, weather that meant anger or Patience was unknown. He looked around at everyone else to get a read on their cards, he knew Sky already had great cards..or was bluffing. He was curious as to what everyone else had..no use throwing out cards when there is no money in the pot.
Almyra put her cards down under her foot. She was having trouble calculating what other people could have, she decided that it didn't actually matter. She had her cards and could not change them, there was no reason to fold, the only thing that would matter regarding this game was when the cards were revealed. She began trying to figure out what the attraction to this game was.
